Dif: 1 Ref: P. 2 Obj: None Msc: Nbrc: None
2. Which Of The Following Are Indications For Performing Spirometry?
1. Assess The Risk Of Lung Resection.
2. Determine The Response To Bronchodilator Therapy.
3. Assess The Severity Of Restrictive Lung Disease.
4. Quantify The Extent Of Copd.
A. 1 And 4
B. 2 And 3
C. 1 , 2, And 4
D. 2 , 3, And 4
CORRECT ANS>>C
Spirometry Cannot Assess Severity Of Restriction; For That You Need To Measure Lung Volumes ( See
Box 1-2, Chapter 1).
, Dif: 1 Ref: P. 7 Obj: El-2 Msc: Nbrc: None
3. The Main Indication For The Measurement Of Lung Volumes Is To Do Which Of The Following?
A. Diagnose Or Assess The Severity Of Restriction.
B. Evaluate The Severity Of Pulmonary Hypertension.
C. Determine The Level Of Cardiopulmonary Fitness.
D. Assess The Risk Of Abdominal Surgical Procedures.
CORRECT ANS>>A
The Most Common Reason For Measuring Lung Volumes Is To Identify Restrictive Lung Disease. Dif:

4. Dlco Measurements May Be Indicated To Evaluate Pulmonary Involvement In Which Of The
Following Systemic Diseases?
A. Asthma
B. Sarcoidosis
C. Exertional Hypoxemia
D. Guillain-Barré Syndrome
CORRECT ANS>>B
Sarcoidosis Is The Only Systemic Disease Listed That Affects Gas Exchange. Dif: 1 Ref: P. 9 | P. 19 | P. 21
| P. 35 Obj: El-2 Msc: Nbrc: None
5. Blood Gas Analysis Is Used With Patients With Copd To Do Which Of The Following?
A. Monitor Airway Responsiveness.
B. Determine Level Of Cardiopulmonary Fitness.
C. Detect Pulmonary Hypertension.
D. Assess Need For Supplementary O2.
CORRECT ANS>>D
Blood Gas Analysis Is Most Commonly Used To Determine The Need For Supplemental Oxygen And To
Manage Patients Who Require Ventilatory Support.
